Tryptophan indole catabolites have been reported to associate with the inflammatory diseases of the CNS. However, the roles of tryptophan indole catabolites have been rarely elucidated in MOGAD.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory and demyelinating disorder that can lead to serious disability and mortality. Humoral fluid biomarkers with specific, convenient, and efficient profiles that could characterize and monitor disease activity or severity are very useful. We aimed to develop a sensitive and high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS-based analytical method for novel biomarkers finding in NMOSD patients and verified its function tentatively.

Background: Circulating choline pathway nutrients play a critical role in first stroke and recurrent stroke. However, there is limited information available on the effects of choline pathway nutrients on the risk of moyamoya disease (MMD) and its subtypes. We investigated the association between circulating choline and betaine and the incident risk of MMD and its subtypes.
